[Bug 1923635] Re: ubuntu must support upgrading images with grub in removable path

[Mate Kukri]

Years have passed and there does not seem to be many reports of breakage
caused by this.

Should we consider this to still be a problem, or can this be closed?

Bug description:
  ubuntu must support upgrading images with grub in removable path

  Currently whilst we install shim into removable path, we never upgrade
  grubx64.efi in the removable path.

  This leads to inconsistent behavior, where upgraded shim will boot
  grubx64.efi from /boot/grubx64.efi which might lack sbat sections and
  thus will not boot.

  Either we need to support upgrade grubx64.efi in /boot/*.efi, or
  remove it whenever we install new shim into /boot/bootx64.efi.
